The Impact Without Borders Blog

As we've grown this past year, so has our team! This month we'll start introducing you to a different team member every week.​This week, meet Bong Hwan 'BH' Kim. BH is the CEO and Co-Founder of IWOB. Prior to pulling together the founding IWOB team, BH got his start in the social sector including non-profit management, government, and philanthropy. He's now spearheading IWOB fundraising efforts and is an avid paddleboarder and certified yoga instructor.

BH, why did you join Impact Without Borders?

I became involved in Impact Without Borders because I see a great need for more innovative and impactful ways to solve social problems which are only growing in scope, speed, and complexity. Charitable dollars are not designed to grow anywhere near the rate at which out social, economic, and environmental problems are growing. Non-profits solely reliant on grants and contributions must devote a significant chunk of time to fundraising which drains valuable resources from their mission

Contrast this with social entrepreneurs who solve social, financial, environmental problems alongside a financial return. At IWOB we teach people who want to solve social problems with scalable solutions that empathetically engage with the lives of those who need the most help. Partnering with nationally recognized programs like Unreasonable Institute, we are growing social entrepreneurs.
